Cowboy's Dance Hall is a country Western dance club and music venue that features frequent theme nights. One of the club's biggest draws is its professional bull riding shows, which happen in the club's indoor arena. The club also has a mechanical bull for guests, and many nights offer free rides. Weekly events include College Night, where college students get a discounted cover, and Ladies Night, where women get in free. Dance lessons are offered twice a week. The dress code is casual here, and cover charge depends on the night--check calendar for details.
